SKYLOTEC goes to Africa
The SKYLOTEC Textile Collection 2011
Africa is the embodiment of freedom and diversity. Africa means towering mountain ranges, steppes stretching across the horizon as far as the eye can see and tropical rainforests. The life forms of this secretive continent have learned to adapt to different climate conditions and react flexibly to change. They are at one with nature.
The SKYLOTEC 2011 textile collection embodies this spirit and is presenting light, sporty textiles made of cotton and blended fabrics for natural wear comfort and pure freedom of movement.

SKYLOTEC now cooperates with the ISPO Brandnew Award finalist “SKYSTEP”.
The ISPO Brandnew Award has been committed for many years to the promotion of young, innovative brands. This also applies to the idea architect Riskprotect, which this year reached the finals with a concept involving a self-adjusting touring binding. This involves a purely conceptual study rather than a model ready for serial production, according to Ulrich Schwingshackl, Managing Director of Riskprotect. Our intention was to present the idea to a broad specialised public at the ISPO and acquire a strong sales partner for the “SKYSTEP” brand specially developed for this purpose.

SKYLOTEC – A company which stands for High Protection.
Monday morning, 7.30 a.m.: the wind dashes over the windmill, the chill makes its way to the bones. In 70 metres height a small blast quickly feels like a cutting knife. Nonetheless the work has to be finished, every movement has to fit and all operations need to be done routinely. A feeling of safety is essential in great heights, in order to work fast and efficient and to get back safe to the ground.
